“…This nationalized sports narrative pervades media outlets throughout the world, from the United States (Angelini et al, 2012), to Australia (Rowe et al, 2010), to China (Billings et al, 2011), to Canada (Angelini et al, 2015), and beyond. The use of nationalism can also aid the creation of a collective sense of identity inspiring viewers to regularly consume media, building and maintaining audiences (Cormack, 2000) by reinforcing and reproducing beliefs and expectations that confirm one’s identity (Jakubowicz, 2006).…”

“…Another prominent story line prior to the Sydney Olympics was that of indigenous reconciliation and indigenous athletes’ portrayals in mainstream media (Elder, Pratt, & Ellis, 2006). The inclusion of story lines with which audiences can identify helps media to build a narrative “that builds an argument, story, or experience that [media] believe will move their audiences in some way” (Jakubowicz, 2006, p. 604), resulting in a program that is “clearly readable by one’s own nation/public, will strongly resonate for that public, and will create a sense of ‘feeling at home’ for that citizenry” (Billig, 1995, p. 126). Thus, these concepts were featured during the opening ceremony with both ethnic diversity and reconciliation between White and indigenous Australians (Heinz Housel, 2007; Hogan, 2003).…”

This study explored how potential national biases unfolded within the Australian broadcast of the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. Applying social identity theory and self-categorization theory, this study content analyzed a total of 45 prime time broadcast hours of Australia’s Seven Network’s coverage of the Rio Games. Although the majority of top 20 most-mentioned athletes were Australian, non-Australian athletes were mentioned more frequently regarding total name mentions. Moreover, Australian athletes and non-Australian athletes were described in significantly different manners when ascribing reasons for athletic success and failure. This study contributed to the literature by uncovering how in-group members were portrayed in the Australian sports context while also providing insight into how consumers’ media consumption could potentially affect how the network broadcast the Olympics from a nationally partisan perspective.

Disadvantaged groups often face negative portrayals in the media, particularly in news outlets. These portrayals lead to misrepresentation, misunderstanding, and perpetuation of harmful stereotypes. Adding insult to injury, issues important to these groups, such as discrimination, are often reported with bias. Furthermore, media outlets present discrimination discourse differently, evolving from general to specific issues over time. Television news, a primary information source for 76% of Flemish households significantly shapes public perceptions. Therefore, examining television news portrayal of discrimination is crucial, as it can either reinforce or challenge existing prejudices. This longitudinal study analyzes Flemish television news coverage of discrimination (N = 252) from 2017 to 2021, comparing the public broadcaster VRT with its commercial counterpart VTM. Racial discrimination was the most frequently reported issue, influenced by global movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM). There was an increase in coverage of sexuality-related discrimination in 2021, reflecting heightened media focus on LGBTQ+ issues and activism. The portrayal of discrimination varied, with direct discrimination most frequently reported. While VRT and VTM differed significantly in coverage duration and focus, overall coverage of discrimination topics showed no major disparities. This study emphasizes the need to address intersectionality and systemic issues in media coverage to reflect societal diversity accurately.
